(I COULD) BE HAPPY YESTERDAY


Just like the autumn
When leaves turn brown and fall upon the ground
That's how you left me
You just went cold and everything changed round
If I could have that time again
Would we still be friends
Or am I lying?

 With everything I've said and done
 And every race that I have run
 When there is nothing more to say
 I could be happy yesterday
 With every lie that I've been told
 And every dud that I've been sold
 I would forget them anyway
 I could be happy yesterday

Goodbye forever
You packed your bags and headed out the door
I'm being clever
Seeing if there's more points I can score
And though I'm sneering all the time
I'm dying inside
Do you remember?

 With everything I've said and done
 And every race that I have run
 When there is nothing more to say
 I could be happy yesterday
 With every lie that I've been told
 And every dud that I've been sold
 I would forget them anyway
 I could be happy yesterday

I could be happy
Oh, so happy
I could be happy
But it seems that I'm frustrating
All attempts at my elation

 With everything I've said and done
 And every race that I have run
 When there is nothing more to say
 I could be happy yesterday
 With every lie that I've been told
 And every dud that I've been sold
 I would forget them anyway
 I could be happy yesterday
